Occultation of Venus by the Moon,
17 July 2001
These images are extracted from a long series of shots during the occultation. I started shooting about 10 minutes before contact, took some time off after disappearance, and then continued for a few minutes after the reappearance of Venus (the small white dot). Images are oriented as one would see the objects through binoculars.
